How many coins should you HODL?

[Naficopa]

I hodl more than 50 coins. I think that some people have much more. Now most of the prices are such that I do not want to sell anything. Perhaps it will be a long time.

I do not know if it makes sense to hold so many coins. Diversification is good, but it is definitely too much for me. As for me, it's better to have smaller amount coins, which can give a good and reliable profit.

I hold about 35 coins. Sometimes it becomes difficult to follow them, but it helps cryptocompare. I plan to gradually reduce the amount to 20 coins.

It depends on your budget. If you believe in a coin; then you should start collecting;
1/ 1 million of it.
1 / 100k of it.
1 / 10k of it etc.
1/1k should be up limit.

11 coins are so so much. Tracking can be very difficult. All developments related to these need to be closely monitored.
And I think it's very difficult. The best choice is 5 coin. I hodl 4 or 5 coins.

[mygoodboyaccount]

Currently 17 hold coins. Reduced from 21.
My goal now is to increase the amount of each coin I hold and expand at a reasonable pace into other coins while they are still inexpensive.

I believe one should more heavily invest in projects they feel strongly about and just lightly bet on potential and risky ones. Occasionally go deep on the risky ones too

I don't see why you should set a limit. The key for me, is coins/tokens that I can consolidate under a small handful of accounts - for instance, you can have dozens of tokens under a single Ethereum or WAVES account. I think NEM and NEO work the same way, but can't say for sure, as I don't own any of each. However, I hold over 50 coins/tokens in my ETH & WAVES accounts, a little bit of BTC and a couple of others that I mine.

I divided my account into 4 pieces. 50% bitcoin 25% Ethereum 15% neo.
And 10% other alternative coins. And I am holding 10 alternative coins. They all have 1% share. But still very difficult to follow  much coins.

[drmarcobelli]

I have like 4-5 which I plan to hold for several months and years.
I'm talking about coins with low cap, like $20-$40m that can give me some good profit 

[burdeN]

Personally, I think it's better to hold 3-5 coins, depends on the time you are ready to spend to follow the projects. Don't just jump on or off a coin without previous research and don't get hyped

[olumyd]

You can hold up to 10 coins max which have long-term value, then you can leave the rest as tradable assets - even up to 50 - depending on how many you can manage.

There is no limitations in numbers of coins if you think that you can manage them all.  But for new comers, it might be good to have 2-3 coins for them to learn and can manage it will. Because not exactly all of us are just knowledgeable in this field, it could be hard for them if they take more coins in a time.

[DroidR17A]

Good point. Out of my port, there are maybe 20 that are serious contenders. The rest I don't pay much attention to. If they flop, it's like losing penny stocks, so no biggy.

[political1907]

I hold most of the money in bitcoin and ethereum. I keep the other part in 5 different coins. Having too many coins requires a lot of time. And I dont have that much time.

[Mattacoin]

As many as you can! The more coins you have the higher your potential profits. The more different types of coins you have, the lower your risk. That being said, only hold as much coins as you can follow. Any more than 20 is probably too much work for the average person to keep on top of, at that point you probably have duplication in the functionality of the coin as well and the marginal utility of an additional coin in your portfolio isn't worth the extra work required keeping up to date with it.

[Dragonrage201]

I think number of coins is not important so long as you can track those. Holding as many good coins as you can afford to buy is fine otherwise you are going to miss out on lots of new hot ICOs. There is no sure way to know which ones are the next 10x or 100x winners so diversifying is useful here.

[creeps]

There's no limit on holding coins as long as you believe on every coin go for it because I assume that you are knowledgeable enough to hold on that. I just hold coins that I know can make good profit for me just like NEM and BTC. Patience is what we need, believe and it will be worth it.

[Bybox]

Around 10 are enough, just focus on great projects and don't invest in all of them because you will also increase your risk if you invest in too many projects. Personally I only hodl Bitcoin and Ethereum.

[coastbank]

As far as I remember I hold like 7 coins or something right now, half secure half risky. I consider to hold 15 coins over time with my wage saves. I think more than 20 is too much in this matter. Very hard to follow all.

[okala]

Hey guys today i have a special question.
i am HODLing 11 different coins right now including bitcoin...it that too much or should i spread even more?

My opinion is make a wide spread so your dont have that big loss. on the other hand also not that big win...

What do you think?

If you invest in all the coins and the tokens and you have the capital to invest the best thing to do is to invest in them. The more you invests the more probability you have to make money and your risk of lose money is reduce. Invest is a game of risk therefore you should not put money that you cannot afford to lose.

[deadthings]

There is always to have few coins from the top10 - min 5 coins. Also good is have cheap, but promising coins that not even show up on Coinmarketcap, you can look for such projects in announcement threads, or even in ICO threads. I think that number of 10 coins to hold in basket is very balanced.
